I'm hoping to release the update.zip next week (before memorial day weekend). It would be a huge help if some folks would install it temporarily and give me some feedback. Unfortunately for this release you'll most likely have to do a complete wipe before installing. I'm going to test on my Viewpad first, and will confirm before release. Thanks for being so patient.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] insanecon:
Very willing to do any tests!

Send me the link, and I will flash away! :)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] ming0971:
Ready for trying it also....
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Beukhof1:
Im ready for testing to.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Smilez:
I'm ready for testing as well.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] mp9_sit:
Since we can backup through the recovery. I think the wiping is not a big issue.:D
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] s2k7:
Waiting for it.

Multi languages are expected, including Japanese and Chinese etc.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] lakehousetech:
Yeah it's not a big issue if people actually do a NANDroid backup before doing the wipe, but some folks tend to forget.

Could I get you a tea and a massage with that as well?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] tj_style:
Nice, how about the progress?

My friends borrowing the CSL Mi-700 to me.

I hope i have time to porting the gingerbread to this device.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] amoyan:
Can test

Waiting patiently. Have 2 units of varying hw rev level.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] lakehousetech:
I saw your thread. Really great that people will hopefully have another option for a change. Good work!

I'm working on it in the evenings, and pushing hard to get a release out this week for testing. Keep an eye out for updates!
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] cobra20g:
thanks...

just wanted to say thankyou for your previous rom. It gives me the best quadrant scores and also seems to be the most stable. I am looking forward to a gingerbread release! I just wanted to thank you for your hard work lakehousetech!
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] lakehousetech:
Thanks much! I'm hoping that XDA will actually be motivated to create a device-specific thread soon for the Viewpad7 (and equivalent) now that there are two active porting projects in the works.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] som097:

Looking forward to both!

will it support arabic? if not can you please add it

Thanks
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] mb-14:
Can you tell us how exactly are you trying to port it? Then maybe many people can contribute.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] lakehousetech:
AOSP from scratch. There are other contributors aside from me working on this project. I personally haven't touched it in over a week due to my power jack on my laptop melting....requiring replacement. Should be back up and running this evening.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] mb-14:
I'm new to the AOSP (noob:()so im still clueless about the exact steps for porting.the official guide says that you need the proprietary drivers to flash it on a device.how are going to do this?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] cobra20g:
I am not 100% sure on this but from what I am currently reading most of the driver work is finding similar devices and using those drivers. Some of the more skilled Devs will actually edit existing drivers, or write new ones. But I am a newb to this portion as well these are just findings.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] mb-14:
So what your saying is that the devs download the drivers from similar devices provided on the device website, extract them to the vendor directory and build it?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] lakehousetech:
Binaries can be imported into a build from previous versions (Froyo), but don't always work properly. Creating a new product and getting all hardware working is a long tedious process.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] mb-14:
Thanx this explains a lot.What exactly do these proprietary binary files contain?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] myti:
I ordered a new Viewsonic Viewpad 7 a few days ago. Looking forward to see Gingerbread on it.

Or even Honeycomb if that is possible. I will continue looking in this thread. :D
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] lakehousetech:
I'm compiling it with full language support, but I'm not certain that Arabic is included (will have to check).

Anything is possible, but I doubt HC would run very well...especially considering how poorly GB is performing at the moment on this device. One thing at a time...
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] wazzzuuuup2:
it would be nice if honeycomb can be ported in our tablet...

since tj_style succeed ported honeycomb in his phone :(
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Infernoken:
Hey, also just bought an Viewpad7 and looking forward to GB...

Will look at your enhanced Froyo to start and see how that runs.

Looking forward to flash the GB...
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] gsm2xtreme:
I also bought 2 pieces viewpad 7 @ aprox. 160 euro each on dutch ibood.

I'm willing to test new roms and experiment cause I don't care about bricking one :)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Infernoken:
Also bought on ibood (belgium) for that price I couldn't resist...

Only bought one though.

Still searching for a fool proof guide on how to flash the viewpad, I have zero experience with flashing android.

(Only got experience with Win Mobile Phone with Energy Roms)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] LayZeeDK:
If you get hold of an .nb0 image then you can use the SUT L3 tool from ViewSonic (http://vsg.viewsonic.com/ViewPad7/). Just boot into Recovery (I believe you have to hold down both Vol- and Vol+ while booting) connect it to your pc and run the program (you may have to run it with administrator rights). It should state that your phone is connected. Select the image and flash away! :) I'm pretty sure that you are able to use the stock recovery. By the way if you need root, do a little research on using SuperOneClick v1.7.0 with the rageagainstthecage exploit.

I also bought a Viewpad 7 @ ibood. Would be great if we could run Gingerbread or maybe even Honeycomb on it.

Want to root it right away when I get it. Advice is very welcome!
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] insanecon:
Hope to see Gingerbread on this soon :)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] kuipie:
Awesome, Gingerbread for Viewpad 7! I too have bought this device via iBood and like to experiment with it.

Could you tell us the progression on this ROM and if it's already downloadable?

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] lakehousetech:
Sorry all. Haven't been able to do any work on the GB ROM since being under the gun at work developing an iPhone app (uggh). There's actually been more interest in improving the Froyo ROM from the community, so we'll see what happens when I can get working on it again.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] redneck_666:
I haven't used any of your previous ROMS, but I gotta call BS. Who uses Froyo anymore?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] lakehousetech:
Call it what you will. The majority of Android devices run Froyo:

Waiting for a stabile version of gingerbread

Hey lakehouse.. Hope you'll find the time to manage the working build soon.

The current version does not support for example Vplayer, Which is essential for watching streaming video from my dreambox... On my other devices it's working quite well. Would be nice having that on the ViewPad as well.

Is'nt it a nice and fast device? ;) loving it:D
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] stoneheartjp13:
is this rom ever going to be available? or is the project on hold/stopped?

I really wish that gingerbread will work for us viewpad users.

Bought a Viewpad 7 yesterday.

Hwo to check if it has ITE hardware or not?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
Turn it on with volume down pressed.

If you have HWVer: 107 you probably have ITE hardware
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] astuermer:

The Arnova 7c G2 was released this week or so.

It's running also a MSM7227 CPU with Adreno 200 - but with Android 2.3.

Perhaps a ROM dump will help this project?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] indyend:
I'm think someday in the Future. This device must have 2.3. But it's not popular one. Maybe it's come late. hahahahahahaa

Hey,

We all can test GB. Maybe an alpha release? Also,,wouldn't it be better to try and port CyanogenMod to this device, rather than aosp?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] tranqui69:
Any news about Adroid 2.3 pleease :o
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] lakehousetech:
I'm glad to see that there's a guy working on a Cyanogenmod port. I got stuck several weeks back and haven't touched the project since. I'd still like to complete a nice AOSP port at some point, but with a newborn to keep track of now I have little time. I may mail the tablet to my friend on the Cyanogenmod team and see if he wants to take a shot at it.

Update: I've mailed the tablet to a friend of mine who is on team Cyanogenmod. He's going to dig into it a bit and see what he can do. I think he'll have to mod the kernel a little more extensively for it to work properly with GB. With any luck some of you with have another alternative to the stock and cooked ROMs.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] tranqui69:
Thank You!!!!

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
Metro PCS is a CDMA network. AFAIK, you'll only brick if you flash a gsm radio, not roms. I flashed a gsm rom once. It didn't work, just bootlooped, but I fixed it. Any of the roms in here should flash fine to your phone.

Hello guys, iv'e been tossing it up if i should install wp7 or android on my phone and i've decided to go with android. The closest thing i've done like this is hacking a psp. I just want a sd install at the moment. Running the t9193 model i don't want to lose the reception i get with it. is their a good tutorial specifically for this model?

Can someone please help me, i've used the search option, google youtube and i am still at a loss here, i honestly can't believe how hard this has been. I've not ever hacked my hd2 or any mobile for that matter. I am unfamiliar with any programs used. To my understanding their are two ways of installing Android on the hd2, sd card method and the nand method. i simply want to install through the sd method so i can try out Android and see if it's worth going Nand. I have had unbelievable bad luck at finding a complete tutorial for a 100% noob at this. If someone could post a link to one or even a place for me to get started and learn what to do would be of great help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SkippyDogg:
It's easy! Just go to the sub-form "HD2 Android Development" and choose your build! Usually on the first page is a introduction on the build itself, what it can do, what it cant etc etc. Then once you're happy with the one you choose, download it, extract the archive, drag the extracted Android folder to the root of your SD card.(i.e D:\)Then on Windows Mobile, use the file explorer and navigate to the Android Folder. Then Press Clrcad.exe once (nothing will happen but make sure you click it) and then press Haret.exe and it should start booting into Android. Now from here you just have to wait about 10-15 min for Android to make a new Data.img and get everything set up. Any problems from there you're going to have to ask the developer of the build you choose.

I just rooted the phone, and installed the clockwork mod, using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788099, did everything correctly the only difference was that my phone did not reboot (at least I don't remember that it did, I believe I just had to turn it on myself). Anyway, I then installed rom manager and "flashed clockwork recovery". I later tried to "reboot into recovery" through Rom Manager and when it booted through the stock recovery (2e) It displayed the following "failed to verify whole-file signature" and it said some other crap. What should I do? My phone is running stock OTA 2.1 ea28 and I want to put EB01 or something of that nature. Help me please.

update: i just uninstalled Rom Manager, i just read that its not always compatible and creates problems...what should i do now? should i use odin again to reinstall clockwork?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHoLyx:
Dont use ROM Manager, its not 100% fascinate friendly check out my guide @ androod development. Dl cwm in step 8 and flash it with odin

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elupus:
you can boot into recovery for holding down the up and down volume buttons while it powers up, until the samsung logo appears. then choose "install zip from sd card".

OK folks,

Have a look at this guide that I created for editing the framework-res.apk so that you can then go to the UOT Kitchen and cook up your own ICONS and Batteries.

It is a long read and most folks can probably figure it out.

I have used this to create my own Battery and Status bar icons.

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] chrisrotolo:
thanks very helpful guide, but too involved for me. I will either use some one else theme, or use 7zip open archive and change PNG's trick.

Hopefully someone can upload an edited framework-res, for every DJ_Steve update that we all can share for UOT.. hint...hint...

thanks again, I may give this a try when I have time, hopefully I wont need to though.

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] alperin1:
Ramtix, i knew that the framework was out thre for the others to use.

I guess the guide is for the folks that want to do all the work and learn a lttile bit about how the Framework is edited.

It took me a long time to figure out how to edit the 9.png files and compile them and just wanted to help others to do the same.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] chrisrotolo:
I tried that framework and failed to cook everytime

What is the use of those .9 pngs anyways?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] ramtix:

Thanks

Great explanation of .9.png's

Finally got the edited framework to cook

Hopefully this helps with more themes for Streak.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] vanemburghj:
Thank you all around

Tried making my own framework.apk but failed big time, appreciate you uploading your work for me to use. Will keep the guide and continue to play with it, would like to say that I beat the software, not that the software beat me.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] alperin1:
Keep hacking away at it.

Do you know where you are beating the software into submission. (where are you stuck?)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] vanemburghj:
When it's time to complie is where I fail

alperin1, I will walk you through my Eclipse phase and maybe you can tell where all goes wrong.....

1. Make edits to .9 files like a champ if you don't mind me saying so...

2. Open Eclipse and go to File/new/android project and nothing, import LunarLander files and make sure settings are on Android 2.2

3. Create and now my copy of LunarLander is permanently updated to my edited .9 files (so assume at this point all is good to go).

4. At Export Signed Application Package is where I am having my problems, go throught the steps receive confirmation my file is G2G and when I move them to my Framework file all the edits are gone, like I did nothing to them.

5. Have preformed #4 multiple times and same result every time, everything moves but my edits are stripped out.

6. Figured maybe it is magic and edits will reappear when I cook my file, well no luck, get same exact error report as when I first tried to cook me some Icons on UOT.

Any ideas on what is causing my updated .9 files to loose the edits when I move them from LunarLander to Framework (Yes I do accept the overwrites when prompted).
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] alperin1:
Before you do the last step in Eclipse, drag one of the png files to your desktop and view it.

I am at work. I will play with this when I am home.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] alperin1:
This is very interesting. When I export my package from Eclipse and then pull the images they do not show the dots and the bars just like you are seeing. So, I have to say this part may not be where your are running into problems.

Is it possible for you to post the error text? Put it into a zipped file. I will see what I can do. This is kinda new to me so I will do what I can for you.

So you are in Eclipse and you have lunarlander, you then put all your edit 9.PNG files into the folder. Next your export it.

After you have created the new lunarlander.apk, you are going into it and extracting the 9.png files you need. You are then placing these file in the same location that you pulled them from in the framework-res.apk. right? Then you are uploading this to the UOT kitchen.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] vanemburghj:
Will do

But will have to wait till I get home from work.
